2021 LINCOLN CORSAIR emergency towing

Activating the Manual Park Release Cable
1. Apply the parking brake. See Electric
Parking Brake (page 246). Note:
If the vehicle battery is dead, for
example, no electrical power is available,
you could require external power to apply
the parking brake. 2. Locate the Manual Park Release cable
access cover on the lower instrument
panel dash to the bottom left hand side
of the steering column. 3. Using a tool or the key blade, carefully
remove the access cover.
Note: Do not pull the tether until you are in
the driver seat.
4. Switch the ignition on, but do not start your vehicle. 5. Once in the driver seat, fully press the
brake pedal and hold. Do not release.
Pull the orange tether towards the driver
seat until the tether gets locked in the
override position. Then leave the tether.
6. The tether should stay extended while in the override position.
7. If done correctly, a message on the instrument cluster displays Park Not
Available, Transmission Not in Park, or
Shift System Fault. Note:
Your vehicle is now out of the park (P)
position and is free to roll.
8. With your foot still fully applied on the brake pedal, disengage the parking
brake. See Electric Parking Brake (page
246
).
9. Your vehicle remains in neutral (N) for emergency towing purposes.
10. Switch off the ignition.

Note:
Stay in neutral mode is a temporary
vehicle state with the ignition off. Extended
usage of stay in neutral mode may result in
a battery voltage reduction to a level where
the vehicle may no longer start. Do not tow
your vehicle in this mode unless in an
emergency situation as it will cause a drain
on the battery. See Towing the Vehicle on
Four Wheels (page 331).
Note: When entering an automatic car wash,
always shift in neutral (N). If you are exiting
the vehicle by the car wash, stay in neutral
mode is available. Failure to do this could
result in vehicle damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty.
Drive (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position for
the best fuel economy. If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck In Mud or
Snow
If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow,
you can rock it out by shifting between
forward and reverse gears, stopping
between shifts in a steady pattern. Press
lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
Note:
Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature or
damage to the transmission may occur.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more than
a minute or damage to the transmission and
tires could occur, or the engine may
overheat.

Note:
Reconnect the wiring to the trailer
after removing the trailer from the water.
When backing down a ramp during boat
launching or retrieval:
• Do not allow the static water level to rise
above the bottom edge of the rear
bumper.
• Do not allow waves to break higher than
6 in (15 cm)
above the bottom edge of
the rear bumper.
Exceeding these limits may allow water to
enter vehicle components:
• Causing internal damage to the
components.
• Affecting driveability, emissions, and
reliability.
Replace the rear axle lubricant anytime you
submerge the rear axle in water. Water may
contaminate the rear axle lubricant, which is
not a normal maintenance inspection item
unless there is a possibility of a leak or other
axle repair is required. TOWING THE VEHICLE ON FOUR

Emergency Towing
In the event your vehicle becomes disabled
(without access to wheel dollies, car-hauling
trailer, or flatbed transport vehicle), it can be
flat-towed (all wheels on the ground,
regardless of the powertrain/transmission
configuration) under the following conditions:
•
The vehicle is facing forward so that it is
towed in a forward direction.
• Shift the transmission into neutral (N). If
you cannot shift the transmission into
neutral (N), you may need to override the
shifter and enable Stay in Neutral mode.
Failing to do so may result in damage to
the transmission.
See Transmission
(page 232).
• Maximum speed is
35 mph (56 km/h).
• Maximum distance is
50 mi (80 km). Recreational Towing
Note:
Put your climate control system in
recirculated air mode to prevent exhaust
fumes from entering your vehicle.
See
Climate Control (page 164).
Follow these guidelines if you have a need
for recreational (RV) towing. An example of
recreational towing would be towing your
vehicle behind a motorhome. These
guidelines are designed to ensure that your
transmission is not damaged.
You can tow your vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground using the Neutral Tow mode
in the information display. Alternatively, if
you have a front-wheel drive vehicle, you
can tow with the front wheels off the ground
by using a tow dolly. If you have an all-wheel
drive vehicle, you can tow with all four
wheels off the ground using a vehicle
transport trailer. If you are using a tow dolly
or a vehicle transport trailer, follow the
instruction specified by the equipment
provider.
